Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs

When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.

+Def/-Spd

W!Tharja's best IVs are +Def and -Spd. A +Def stat allows her to utilize Close Counter even more. Her Spd is already low compared to her other skills, and it is not really important for her, so it is safe to take as a bane.

Winter Tharja Best Builds

Owl Winter Tharja

HOT
： Rauðrowl+ ： Swap ： Glacies ： -	： Close Reversal ： Vengeful Fighter 3 ： A/R Far Save 3 ： Close Def 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

Gronnowl+ isn't exclusive to the enemy phase but this build leverages Owl tome's effects to turn Tharja into an enemy phase monster! She doesn't have much mobility with this build, but since since just needs to lure enemies to attack her, the lack of mobility will not hinder her completely. A/R Far Save 3 is to protect allies that are keeping the buffs from Gronnowl+ active.

Blade Winter Tharja

： Rauðrblade+ ： Pivot ： Glimmer ： -

： Death Blow 4 ： Bold Fighter 3 ： Atk/Res Menace ： Death Blow 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

If you need to run Winter Tharja as a Blade tome unit, then this is one way to do it. The only concern when running this build is her mobility since she will need to initiate attacks to take advantage of Death Blow and Bold Fighter 3. Make sure to include movement-assist skills in her allies' kit such as Reposition. You can also use skills like Guidance 3, Ground Orders 3 etc.

Winter Tharja Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Winter Tharja Roles

Tharja - "Normal Girl" Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

W!Tharja is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

W!Tharja Strengths

Vengeful Fighter Guarantees Follow-Up Attacks and Accelerates Specials

Provided that W!Tharja's HP is atleast 50%, she will make guaranteed follow-up attacks and is granted special cooldown charge +1 per attack whenever the enemy initiates combat. It is similar to the effect of Quick Riposte.

Vengeful Fighter 3 ,combined with Winter Tharja's kit, makes her a very deadly unit in the enemy phase, even if she has low speed. Make sure to pair her up with a healer so you can always meet the trigger requirement and consider slapping a sacred skill and a combat-oriented C skill to further her combat prowess.

Can counterattack at any range

W!Tharja's A skill, Close Counter means that she can counterattack foes from any range. Since this means she can counterattack close range foes, she does not have to worry about range when defending from an enemy attack.

In addition, she has high defenses. This means that she can be used as a general tank who can possibly even take out units that have low Res.

Very useful for building other red tome units

W!Tharja's C skill Red Tome Valor will allow all red tome members on the same party to gain 2x SP. This will make building your other red tome units and learning their skills extremely quick and painless. If done on the weekends where a 2x SP multiplier is already in effect, or when a unit is receiving some kind of 2x bonus from an event or blessing, these bonuses stack, which will allow red tome units to gain a ton of SP in no time.

W!Tharja Weaknesses

Very Low Spd

W!Tharja has a very low Spd stat and she will almost always be hit by a follow-up attack. If you plant to invest and use Winter Tharja a lot, consider inheriting Wary Fighter 3 onto her as it patches her susceptibility to follow-up attacks. You should also pair her up with units that improve her durability so that she will not be taken out so easily even if she takes follow-up attacks.

Low Mobility

Because she is an armored unit, she can only normally move 1 space at a time. It is recommended that you inherit skills such as Armor March and Pivot to increase W!Tharja's mobility.
